Invasive species issues were a subject I dealt with for</span><br><span>several decades as part of my job.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>I was recently at the Anne Arundel County Library in Deale (which is a</span><br><span>wonderful library) and discovered a HUGE Canadian thistle in their landscape</span><br><span>plantings, right out front where everyone can see it. This sucker is at</span><br><span>least six feet tall and very robust. I went in and mentioned to the staff</span><br><span>that this was a very invasive species and should be removed before it</span><br><span>flowered. They informed me that no, this was milkweed and they were very</span><br><span>proud of their efforts to further butterfly survival. </span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>So, two problems:</span><br><span></span><br><span>1) The library staff have misidentified this plant (their landscaped</span><br><span>guy did the ID) and are spreading erroneous information about invasive</span><br><span>plants to their patrons. Their hearts are in the right place and they</span><br><span>generally do a great job, but they are working with bad info and are telling</span><br><span>anyone that asks that this noxious invasive plant is milkweed and should be</span><br><span>protected whenever possible.</span><br><span></span><br><span>2) This plant is huge, having been well cared for, and is about to go</span><br><span>to seed. The first bloom opened yesterday and there are a very large number</span><br><span>of flowers getting ready to open. I have seen no other thistles in this</span><br><span>area and would like to see it stay that way.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>I've tried in person to re-educate them with no luck, after all I'm just a</span><br><span>walk in and their gardener assures them this is milkweed. I've written to</span><br><span>the head librarian with my concerns and suggested they consult with a</span><br><span>botanist and have received no response. The plant will start seeding later</span><br><span>this week given the hot dry weather we are having. </span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Would you please forward this email or put me in contact with someone in the</span><br><span>area who might be able to go by the library, educate the staff, and get</span><br><span>this thing out of the ground before it goes to seed. There are a lot of</span><br><span>fields around here and they don't need to add this to the list of plants</span><br><span>they are fighting.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>I'd be happy to help in any way I can, but I think I've had my shot with</span><br><span>educating the library staff.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>I sent this email to Kerrie Kyde at DNR but she/he is out of the office till</span><br><span>the 27th and this plant will start seeding this week. </span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Thank you,</span><br><span></span><br><span> David Masters</span><br><span></span><br><span> 703-667-0459</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>---</span><br><span>This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software.</span><br><span><a href="https://www.avast.com/antivirus">https://www.avast.com/antivirus</a></span><br><span>-------------- next part --------------</span><br><span>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...</span><br><span>URL: <<a href="http://lists.maipc.org/pipermail/maipc-maipc.org/attachments/20150816/07700f11/attachment-0001.htm">http://lists.maipc.org/pipermail/maipc-maipc.org/attachments/20150816/07700f11/attachment-0001.htm</a>></span><br><span></span><br><span>------------------------------</span><br><span></span><br><span>Subject: Digest Footer</span><br><span></span><br><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>MAIPC mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:MAIPC@lists.maipc.org">MAIPC@lists.maipc.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://lists.maipc.org/listinfo.cgi/maipc-maipc.org">http://lists.maipc.org/listinfo.cgi/maipc-maipc.org</a></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>------------------------------</span><br><span></span><br><span>End of MAIPC Digest, Vol 46, Issue 21</span><br><span>*************************************</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
